Freelander 1 Heated Seat Switches

Somewhere here I'd think, I don't reckon they'd have changed their positions between 3/5 door versions

Just a headsup, on my 2002 3 door (commercial) automatic freelander TD4, the plugs for the switches and their associated looms were folded back and taped up virtually at the bulkhead, and only accessible with the centre console and heater controls out. So if you are retrofitting heated seats you are unlikely to find the plugs just waiting there for your switches, but they will almost certainly be there, you'll just have to dig to find them.

Mine is also a 2002 Commercial TD4 (manual though) and as you surmised, the plugs weren't there waiting for me when I whipped the blanking buttons out.
My switches came with plugs so at least I know what to look for.
I'll have a go at removing the centre console etc. and see what I can find there.
Thanks :)

Normally, if the wiring isn't fitted, then the plugs aren't in the blanks (the unused plugs clip into the blanks for safety and to prevent rattling). So you'll need to fit your own wiring, which won't be that difficult. ;)

Thanks. In case the wiring isn't there, where does the other end connect?
 
On mine, which is the same yea engine and also a commercial, albeit an automatic vs the OP's manual one, the wiring was there just folded back very deep inside the guts of the dashboard. It might be easier to top the seats out and have a grope under the carpets, if there is any unaccounted for wiring there it will most likely be for the heated seats, and as such if that end of the wiring is there it is almost certain the heated seat seat switch wiring tails are somewhere, just as mine was, buried.

Unusual but worth checking I would think. Maybe they weren't so fussy about wiring in the early days.

I know on the facelift wiring, if the wiring was there at all, it was installed in the switch blanks.
